The number of horses has fallen off 187,821, or 1.17 per cent, during the past year. The heaviest losses generally occurred in the central and western States, and the greatest increases in numbers in the Southern States and in the Territories. Prices have declined in all the States and Territories except Massachusetts and Nevada, the increase in the former being $1.10. The causes generally assigned by correspondents for the falling away in the number of horses are the substitution of other motors in the street-car service of towns and cities, and the failure of food crops and consequent inability to sustain them. The decline in value is usually attributed to the widespread depression. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
